Houthis seize Yemen's Red Sea coast and meet US officials in Oman
The Houthis launched a major offensive seizing control of Yemen's Red Sea coastline including the port of Mokha and Perim Island in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. US officials met Houthi representatives in Muscat, Oman, where the Houthis pledged not to attack American or international shipping, reserving threats for Saudi-linked vessels. Saudi Arabia requested US military support but Washington declined direct involvement, while fighting between the Houthis and Saudi-led coalition continued with Houthi attacks on Saudi Aramco facilities and Saudi airstrikes on Yemen.
